Jagdeo removes Marxism-Leninism from PPP's constitution, improving party image and relations.

Jagdeo's removal of Marxism-Leninism from PPP's constitution is timely and strategic, as it will boost the party's image in western capitals. The decision comes in light of Guyana's past, where PPP's association with Marxism-Leninism led to Cold War-related issues, including being denied independence in the 1960s. This move is expected to address such historical challenges and improve the party's relations.
